Manufacture of Artificial Ivory.
Chicago Tribune.

SHICdBO IIlDuuCs
How is artificial ivory made: OF late
years the scarcity and DEAFNESS of genu-
inc ivory have driven inventors to manu-
facture artificial compounds capable of
replacing it for many Industrial and do
nestle purposes. These compounds,
which may almost without exception be
classed under the name Of "celiuloid,"
are formed Of divided cotton waste or
some similar substance, soaked in either
vegetable naphtha, nitro-benZol, camphor
or alcohol. Sufficient of these solvents is
used to make soft, plastic mass, which
is subjected to hydraulic pressure and
mixed with oils, gums and colorlng mat
ter.
Any degree of fexibility can be given
to it, and it can be made white and
transparent or of any brilliant color. 1t
can be made hard as ivory,o or retained in 80
soft g condition IS 10 be capable Of being
spread in layers over textile fabrics in
the same way as paints are Lid on. 1t
can be pressed and stamped, planned like
wood, turned In lathe, cut with saw,
carved, woven or applied as @ Garnish.
When dyed the dye runs through the
whole substance, and cannot therefore be
rubbed or washed out. An artificial
ivory of creamy whiteness and great
hardness is Gow made frCm good pota-
toes washed in diluted sulphuric acid,
then boiled in the same solution until
they become solid and dense. They ere
then washed free Of the acid and slowly
dried. This ivory can be dyed and turn
ed and made useful in many ways.

amen3nent extending the inquiry as to
whstder any dividends had been illegally
AAssxred by the directors of said COM

Mr.. Hayden of M4ssachu etts, speak

that the gentleman desired the proposed
investigation, ana presented his pub
lished letter to that effect. Hesdesired to
give little piece of history in connection
with this resolution, which had been
originally introduced by Mr.. Henley of
California. The resolution had been in
trocuced for the purpose of obstructing
any legislation or extension of the bill
before the house.
After q sharp debate between Messrs.
Henley and Hayden the amendments
offered by Messrs. Crisp, Anderson, Hol
man and Henley were agreed to and the
Joint resolution was passed without
division. The joint resolution provides
that the secretary of the interior be su-
thorizel to appoint and fix the
of three competent
persons, said compensation not
to exceed $500 per annum
to each, travelling expenses and board
bills, for which proper vouchers should
be returned to be approved by the secre-
tary of the interior, and also to appoint

are receiving aid to the detriment OF it's
obligations to the general government
and whether or not there has been
wrongful or improper use of any portion
of the earnings Of aid railroads. Thirty
dollars is appropriated for the
purpose of the investigation.
Mr.. Crisp of Georgia then called up and
the house proceeded to consider the con-
{ srence report on the interstate commerce
bill. Mr.. Crisp said there could be no
doubt as to the power and right of con-
gress to legiSlate in the premises. A
long colloquy then touk place between
Mr.. ButterwOrth of Ohio and Mr.. Crisp
on the subject of long and short haul,
after which Mr. O'Ne;ll of Pennsylvania
spoke against the conference report and
MIR Hopkins of Illinois made an argu-
ment in support of it. Pending further
discussion the matter went over.

MIR. Lowell's Spelling.
New York Tribune,

NC" IOIh 1IlUunC.
T. W. Higeinson is credited with tell
ing racy anecdote in regard to James
Russell Lowell. According to Mr..
Higginson, one of the Adirondack guides
expresses the opinion that Mr. Lowell IS
Ian ignorant uss," and backs up the
Characterization with this bill of particu-
lars:
"Well, was out with him in canoe,
and We were going down stream with the
current, and making tirst-rate
time, ard he didn't know
any better than to insist that we
should go over to the ether side of
the stream, just to get in the shade Of the
bank out OF the sun; and we didn't get
shead at all. Now call man that don't
know enough to take advantage of the
current in q canoe blamed ignoramus.
This same critical Adirondack guide, or
one Of his professional brethren, figures
in another story, which is also told ct the
expense of Mr.. Lowell's intelligence.
Said the guide in question to gentleman
whom he met in the woods and who med
toned that he came from Boston:
"Do you know Lowell?"
"What's his first manner"
"Jim."
"Do you refer to James Russell Lowell,
the poet?"
Yes; that's him"
80, yes, know Mr.. Lowell very we'll
and admire him greatly"
"Well, took to him, too, but with
regret In his. tome he's got one mighty
singular habit"

"Well, he's written me several letters,
off and on, when he's been comm up
here, and he's monotonous speller."

And we have for the total of such ex-
penditures at the date stated the enor-
nous sum of S132 ,67S 1925.
Contrast this vast amount OF money
with the results it has accomplished as
manifested in the reports of the admiral
of the navy and of the chief of bureau of
yards ana docks, and accept the lesson
which the comparison teaches and with
all the responsibility it imposes.
1t will be observed, Mr.. Chairman,
that l have called the attention of the
committee to the cost of the con-
struction and repair of such ships
only as were comprised in our naval
establishment at the close of the
last fiscal year. If had also taken into
account the expenditures upon such YES
sells as have gone out of commission and
have been condemned and sold since the
termination of the late civil war, and
considering only the cost of the repairs
made on such vessels since June so, 1868,
the sum total of disbursements would
have been very largely increased.
But it occurs to me that enough, and
more than enough, has been shown to
justify the fixed conclusion in every IN
prejudiced mind that very serious, if not
criminal, plumbers have been committed
in the administ' alton of the naval aff4irs.
1t behooves Us then, as the represen a
tives OF the people, upon the great ma
lority of whom the burdens of this gov
eminent are now resting with an exceed
lngly oppressive weight, and as legisla-
tors protesting anxiety to inaugurate all
needful reforms, to earnestly Seek after
the true cause of the evil, and to apply
such remedial measures as will give i'm
mediate and permanent relief. | do not
believe that the fault lies with the per-
sonnet of the navy. It's officers are gen.
tlemen of integrity, skill, experience,
courage and patriotism. They are
devoted to their profession and ere
the peers of any who are performing
similar duties in other countries and
under other flags. Beyond all question
they are worthy the high reputation
which they enjoy both at home and
abroad. The honor and safety of the
country is secure in their hands, pro-
vided only they be furnished with the
proper implements OF war. But if the
personnel of the navy be not Justly re-
sp lnsible for the sad condition OF our
war vessels and naval workshops, whittier
are we to lack in order to ascertain the
source from which has sprung such an
unfortunate administration as has char
scterized the management of this depart
ment of the government?
As is well known, the administration is
subdivided into eight bureaus, each of
which is organized Independently of the
others. From 1912 to 1862 there existed
only four of these bureaus-yards and
